Preclinical assessment of MAGMAS inhibitor as a potential therapy for pediatric medulloblastoma.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Medulloblastoma, the most common pediatric brain malignancy, has Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) and non-SHH group3 subtypes. MAGMAS (Mitochondrial Associated Granulocyte Macrophage colony-stimulating factor Signaling molecules) encode for mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase subunit and is responsible for translocation of matrix proteins across the inner membrane. We previously reported that a small molecule MAGMAS inhibitor, BT9, decreases cell proliferation, migration, and oxidative phosphorylation in adult glioblastoma cell lines. The aim of our study was to investigate whether the chemotherapeutic effect of BT9 can be extended to pediatric medulloblastoma. Methods: Multiple in vitro assays were performed using human DAOY (SHH activated tp53 mutant) and D425 (non-SHH group 3) cells. The impact of BT9 on cellular growth, death, migration, invasion, and metabolic activity were quantified using MTT assay, TUNEL staining, scratch wound assay, Matrigel invasion chambers, and seahorse assay, respectively. Survival following 50mg/kg BT9 treatment was assessed Results: Compared to control, BT9 treatment led to a significant reduction in medulloblastoma cell growth (DAOY, 24hrs IC50: 3.6uM, 48hrs IC50: 2.3uM, 72hrs IC50: 2.1uM; D425 24hrs IC50: 3.4uM, 48hrs IC50: 2.2uM, 72hrs IC50: 2.1uM) and a significant increase in cell death (DAOY, 24hrs p=0.0004, 48hrs p<0.0001; D425, 24hrs p=0.0001, 48hrs p=0.02). In DAOY cells, 3uM BT9 delayed migration, and significantly decreased DAOY and D425 cells invasion (p < 0.0001). Our Conclusions: Our
